Unrealized losses really can be more frustrating than unrealized gains, even if the amounts are the same. When you make a profit, you think "I can leave it for now," but when you lose, you're constantly thinking "Should I cut my losses?" "Will it get worse?" Lying in bed at night, your mind is still replaying the candlestick charts. Basically, it's loss aversion acting up.



Recently, the staking unlocks and token unlock calendar have been repeatedly mentioned, and the anxiety of "selling pressure is coming" amplifies this feeling: even though it hasn't happened yet, your heart already feels uneasy for your wallet. My current approach is very simple: write down the worst-case scenario first, see if I can accept it; if I can't, reduce my position; if I can accept it, then don't check ten times an hour.

I treat complexity as an enemy: write my position, risk, and trigger conditions in three lines, and avoid making decisions based on emotions. Anyway, being able to sleep well is more valuable than earning that extra bit.
